fly-by-night a fly-by-night person or organization cannot be trusted because they have not been established long, and could leave or close at any time. They've opened one of those cheap and nasty fly-by-night stores on the High Street. (always before noun) I'm serious about representing my constituents. I'm not a fly-by-night politician. |

It doesn't help that there are fly-by-nights who come in, operate noisily and dirty and leave a bad impression with the public. But if the city's experiment with charter schools is any indication, such startups are as likely to he shabby fly-by-nights as caring havens. Everyone here is going at max speed, willing to do whatever needs to be done, to value this company or make sure it's not one of those fly-by-nights that fall apart. |
